Clark Russell at Sea as a Boy.

The first night at sea a storm arose,
and as young Russell Law deadly sick
in his bunk he did not expect that he
would have to get up when all
hands were called to reef top
sails. But sick as he was, he was
dragged on to his feet and sent aloft.
1t was pitch dark, the rain driving
along as if it meant to blind a man,
and the wind blowing gale, but he
knew it would not do to skulk, and he
staggered up the companion-way, and
began to haul on rope. Seeing him
doing this the third mate roared out
his name, and ordered him to lay aft
and jump aloft and help the other mid
shipmen to reef the mizzen-topsail.
The mizzen-topsail againI How hate
full it sounded! All three topsail
halyards were loose" he tells us in
1.-The Middie's Yarn" and ''the canvas
was banging in the darkness like great
guns going off, all the crew and idlers
as well singing out at the ropes. and
the second mate in the waist, and the
chief mate aft, shouting at the top of
their voices"
He got into the lee shrouds and
climbed up until he came to the mizzen-
top, but once there he was too dizzy
and too weak to go higher. He sat
down, dreadfully sick, and wished HIM
self dead. His cap had blown off his
head, his boots were full of water, and,
he had no oil-skins on, he was soaked
to the skin by the rain and the spray.
Here the sailors found him, and one
of them taking pity on him showed him
through the ''1ubber's hole, and helped
him on deck again.
This was only the beginning, and
when he came to have as little fear of
going alOft as the best of them, he still
had to put up with poor and insuffici-
ent food, and with all kinds of drudg-
cry.
'Pve scraped and creased down
masts," he says; painted the ships
side, tarred down, cleaned the brass
work, painted the quarter-boats, and 1
only wonder that the skipper didn't
put us to washing up the cuddy dishes
and cleaning the knives. William H.
Riding, in the Brooklyn Magazine.

Family Jars in Japan.

General speaking, the Japanese men
make kind and affectionate husbands,
and the women make virtuous and ex-
emplary wives and mothers; and the
children are certainly the happiest
little imps in the world; their parents
fOndle and spoil them most effectually,
and at the same time never lose their
control over them. The non-irritat-
ing nature of the native diet has much
to do with such serene nerves and tenn
peraments. One never sees a child
whipped in Japan; a reproving mother
may administer a mild slap over the
head, which correction invariably
brings the little recalcitrants to order.
The husband has absolute control over
the person of his wife; at the same
time, one never sees man strike a
woman in Japan; yet there is con-
siderable pinching and slapping done
on occasions when those strange and
ungovernable spells of exasperating
ugliness known as tantrums settle
down upon their matrimonial horizon.
On these occasions there is consider
able free hitting, biting and scratch
ing indulged in on both sides of the
house; but the greater strength of the
husband invariably leaves him master
of the situation, and the belligerent
household speedily resumes its serene
and happy course. On such occasions,
unless physical force was resorted to,
it would be difficult to say where
matters would end; for the women are
very childish, and in their paroxysms
of fury might speedily demolish the
household, unless restrained. These
family jars are not of frequent occur
renee, but they make up in intensity
for their rarity. Brooklyn Magazine.

Furnishing q House.

know now what it is that makes
furnishing a house so expensive.
There is no man so much of a nuisance
as the fellow who's going to get mar
ried and is furnishing a house, or the
fellow who's building house and look
ing around for furniture. He comes
in and he looks at everything.
''How high is that door?" he asks.
You don't know. You guess, and
when you've guessed for five minutes
he takes a tape measure out of his
pocket and measures it and finds
you're just three feet out of your calcu-
lation.
How much did you pay for that
portiere?"
Fifteen dollars and half"
Then he measures that. finds out
how many yards there is in it, in spite
of the fact that you have told him it
was specially made for you, built for
special door, and it is of no earthly
use to him. Then he strides up an J
down and all around your rug and
mentally compares it with the size of
some in the new house, and figures in
his mind for ten minutes before he
asks you what you gave for it. All the
time he knows it's not the size, color,
nor quality he wants. He is distracted
on the street and full of questions in
your house. And when you go to call
ON him when he has finished furnish
ing you can not for the life of you see
any single thing which in size, color,
or material resembles anyone of the
million things he has asked you about.

From DR.. Eggleston's illustrrted ar
ticle in the Century, we quote the fol-
lowing account of the weekday lee
ture," now passed away: The New
England reverence for the Sabbath
tended to repress social enjoyment in
the accidental encounters of Sunday,
but the weekday lecture suffered from
no such restriction, and was for long
time much more in favor than even
the Sunday service. From all the
country round, in spite of the poverty
and difficult conditions of pioneer life,
people f1ocked to these weekday as
semblages. Cotton's lecture in Boston
was so attractive that it was found con-
venient to establish a market on the
same day; punishments in the stocks,
in the pillory, at the whipping-pOst, or
on the gallows, were generally set
down for lecture-time, perhaps in order
that as large a number of people as
possible might be edited by the sight
of sinner brought to a just retribu-
ton. Nor did these exhibitions of
fiogging, of cutting off ears, and of men
sitting in the stocks, or dangling from
the gallows, tend to diminish the at
tendance. At one period during
Philips war, scarcely Boston lecture
day passed for a number of weeks
without the congregation being regaled
with the sight of the execution of one
or more Indians. When heretical or
seditious books were condemned, it was
decreed that they should be solemnly
burned lust after lecture Elections
were appointed for the same time at
first, and the early popularity of the
Thursday lectures in Boston and Ips-
wich fixed the annual Thanksgiving
festival on that day of the week. The
largeness of the assemblies at lecture
time gave some uneasiness to the mag
istrates in the first years of the colony;
they were concerned to see people who
could i'll spare the time, going to three
or four lectures in different places
during the same week. They saw that
young people made attendance
on lectures pretext for enjoying
themselves, and they had reasonable
fear that the hospitality exercised on
such occasions might become burden
some. AS early as 1888 the magistrate
interfered to fix the hour of the lecture
at one o'clock or later, that the people
might take their midday meal at home.
The next year they persuaded the min
listers about Boston to arrange their
lectures in alternate weeks, that four
contiguous towns might afford but two
lectures a week. In 1859 the rulers
again sought to regulate the hour of
lecture. but this brought the clergy on
their backs, and the next year all re-
strictions were repealed, and the week
day lecture long remained time OF
common assemblage, of business con-
venience, of hospitality, and of great
social enjoyment.

News from the Planet Mars.

The Edinburgh ReUies0 thinks that
the planet Mars may justly be con-
sidered kind of duplicate earth, it
being endowed with land, water,
clouds, and air, and snow accumu-
lating around it's poles in their re-
speetive seasons of winter. If this be
so, the atmosphere of the planet is,
however, obviously much more rare
than that of the earth, so that it only
exerts at the planets surface pres
sure of about two pounds and quar-
ter to the square inch. The climate OF
Mars is conceived, from. the small
amount of snow that accumulates at
the poles of the planet, to be compare
lively mild, and the water is distrib-
uted into very curious series of long
parallel canals which run out from
the ocean basins to an extent, in
some places, of three and four thou
sand miles. As is well known, astron-
omers have succeeded in discovering,
since 1877, two moons, these being
found to present a diameter of moi
more than six or seven miles, and one
of them completing a revolution
round the planet in little more than
seven hours.-Ne,0 York Sun.

Bad Bargains.

The London Punch, in a squib
modelled on The Battle of Dorking,"
suggests that English ''secrets of

covered with vessels. Surrounded by
an almost countless host, the only
British ironclad (the Ethelred the Un-
ready in commission, proudly crested

'Why, what is thisw exclaimed the
English commander, gazing at the
enemy through his telescope. "Those

Whitehall! And those guns! They,
